I have 2 accounts on my computer. First is mine which I use as administrator account. And second one is home account which I give limited permission. And it is a limited account. And now I want to deny internet connection from this home account. Means I want to do giving that internet accessing only on my account and don’t want to give internet accessing on home’s account. So anybody can help me how can I give these settings. I am waiting for your reply.

What type of Internet Connection are you using?
Is it Ethernet connection, USB connection or wireless?

I forgot to ask you one more thing, what is the operating system installed on your computer?
You may disable the network adapter on that computer for blocking the Internet Connection.
Alternatively, you may change the browser's proxy settings (incorrectly configure it) so that the users in that account will not be able to access internet.

For incorrectly changing the proxy setting, enter some incorrect random values and check if the internet access has been disconnected in the browser but make sure that you remember the correct configuration so that you may undo it in case, if you want to use it in future.
If you still have any confusion, please let me know the browser(s) in use on your computer, I will give you exact steps.
Have a great day, enjoy !!!

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for the details, please refer to this URL for changing the settings:

If the users on your computer are not very tech savvy use only the first step mention in the document.
Let me know if you still experience any difficulty.
